Film As Seduction

With the continuing evolution of media technology,the gap between the information and the audiences are being filled.Equipping with the abundant imagination,the reliable interaction and deep sense of immersion,virtual reality technology has made the achievement of completeness which the traditional media have never reached.Since the year of 2016 which is so called as “the first year of the virtual reality” by the industry delegates,the academic circle start a lively discussion about the new technology.There is no agreement of opinion at all among the field of film studies at the same time.There have been calls for the new title of "virtual reality film",as well as the collapse of traditional film theory.On the contrary,few people continue discussing the unique charm of traditional films.As a medium of sensory stimulation,on the surface,the film is indeed used to see or hear.Therefore,compared with the full perception of virtual reality technology,there is a distance between films and the audience.Does the film have to evolve towards the extent of being full perception? Virtual reality technology which completely eliminates the temporal and spatial distance,is more complete than the traditional technology.A brief review of the evolution of film technology has been studying while following a path of continued completeness.However,it is revealed that the creator,the viewer’s body,and the film itself will eventually deconstruct once a more integrated film is deduced.Thereout,this article deduces the possibility from these three aspects.By means of a kind of fabricated visiblity,the modern media,represented by virtual reality,attempt to “solve” the practical problems which can not be solved in practice.Therefore,we put forward the concept of “the medium is the virtuality”.The superficial completeness of virtuality is an “enchantment” arranged by the capital secretly,as well as the complete victory of the empty consumer society.This is also the inquiry of the article which is issued when we study the film with a view to virtual reality.Firstly,this article will focus on "thinking about the films(virtual reality)from the perspective of virtual reality(the films)";secondly,the article endeavors to build another path on which the films will be regarded as the seduction through the exploration of Benjamin and Baudrillard’s theories.By exploring the distinction and unique orientation between virtual reality and the film,we will analyze the completeness of media represented by virtual reality and the cultural significance behind the incompleteness of media which were represented by the film.Films are valuable as a kind of seduction under the context of “the medium is the virtuality” which deserves our sustained attention.
